Would anyone happen to know much about the origin of the first wave of X-Men figures, or know the names of anyone who worked on them? It's really bugging me the lack of credits anywhere on most figures (older ones in particular), because it means I don't even know who to search for to contact to ask some of these questions.
Things I'm hoping to find out:
1) How was the initial line-up of characters determined? I noticed that almost all the characters were also in the line-up featured in the 1989 "Pryde Of The X-Men" pilot, only with Dazzler replaced by Archangel. Did these first go into development when that pilot was in development? Or was it coincidence?
2) If they were, is there a reason why Storm and Cyclops are in their 1989 comics outfits, rather than what they wore in the pilot? If not, why is Colossus not in his 1989 comics outfit?
Anyone think they can help in digging up this information?
